Disagree if you will, and welcome to my procmail filter.

A line HAS to be drawn somewhere by list maintainers for various
mailing lists.  If it is not, then every person out there will
attach arbitrary files to their postings, which are useless to
most others out there.  There is NO standard format for this
information, but a "Signature" is plain text that can be read by
ANYONE, and is a defacto standard that goes back to the beginning
of the mail system.

ANY other format of attachment of files to the mailing list is
abuse of that list.  If someone vehemently believes in violating
netiquette on mailing lists, it will come at their own expense.

Please, someone whack this guy with a cluestick.
